Chapter 1434: The spy also lived there
Minaharu Noriyoshi advised, "General! You shouldn't attack Chinese villages with artillery shells."
Ida was smart and didn't want to use artillery shells to bomb the village, so he quickly withdrew the order to the artillery team.
Doihara Xian'er scolded: "Without bombardment, can you capture Lijiazhai?"
Yuanchun Noriyoshi smiled bitterly and said, "If you can't defeat it, you can just go around it. There's no need to be so persistent!"
Doihara Xian'er asked in return: "If this battle is recorded in the history of the Imperial Army, how would you feel if the two battalions of the Empire were unable to capture Lijiazhai, where 30 Eighth Route Army soldiers were stationed?"
Minaharu Noriyoshi had never thought about this question and didn't know how to answer it.
Doihara Kan'er patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Lieutenant Colonel! You are a noble, you should value honor more than this admiral."
"Hello!"
Minaharu Noriyoshi nodded heavily, turned around and pointed at the radio operator and shouted:
"Radio! Call Commander Okamura and request an aviation brigade to bomb Lijiazhai and eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army here."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
Doihara Kenji praised: "Lieutenant Colonel! You are a man of real courage."
Yuanchun Noriyoshi bowed and said, "Your Excellency the General has given good guidance."
Doihara Kenji smiled and said, "Lieutenant Colonel! How about we play a game of chess?"
Yuanchun Noriyoshi said happily: "Of course! But does the general have chess?"
Doihara Xian'er pointed to the threshing ground outside the village and said, "Draw a chessboard there. You and I will use our soldiers as chess pieces and set up our positions to play a game of chess."
Minaharu Noriyoshi said happily: "Yoshi! Your idea is very good."
Doihara Kenji did what he said. He drew a chessboard on the threshing ground and selected Japanese soldiers to dress up as chess pieces such as chariots, horses, elephants, and cannons.
The cold wind was howling and snowflakes were falling from the sky.
Doihara Kenji and Minaharu Noriyoshi played human chess.
Takahashi Komasa suggested, "General! Let's build a fire around us."
Doihara was enjoying himself, and without thinking, he said, "Lighten the fire!"
Fires were lit all around and the Japanese soldiers gathered around to warm themselves by the fire and watch chess.
Suddenly, a large number of Japanese bombers flew into the sky.
Snow flakes were flying, reducing visibility.
The Japanese bomber pilot was worried about not being able to find a bombing target, when he suddenly saw a circle of fire on the ground and dropped a heavy bomb without thinking.
The aerial bombs whizzed down, landing at very precise points.
All the Japanese soldiers acting as chess pieces in the threshing ground were killed in the explosion.
Doihara Kenji and the Japanese soldiers watching the game around him fled frantically.
The bombers continued to bomb indiscriminately, killing and wounding countless Japanese soldiers.
In a panic, Kenji Doihara fled into a cave in Lijiazhai.
Takahashi Komasa and Ninagawa Nishiemon followed in.
When the smoke cleared, they walked out of the cave and climbed up the city wall.
The area outside Lijiazhai was in a mess, with countless Japanese soldiers killed and wounded.
On the other hand, Lijiazhai was completely unharmed.
Doihara Xian'er said in astonishment: "Yoshi! Lijiazhai is a blessed land. It is just right for me to use it as the command post to attack Wuxing Mountain and destroy the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment."
"Report——!"
Ninagawa Nishiemon reported loudly, stepped forward and handed him a telegram, and whispered,
"General! Aokimon called and asked you to find out who provided a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army in southern Shanxi."
Doihara Xianer nodded and ordered, "Xiao Zheng! Go and call the two captains over. I want to select the best soldiers in the army and form an elite special agent team to gather intelligence and catch the Japanese traitors."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa hurriedly accepted the order.
Doihara Ken'er looked at Lijiazhai and ordered, "Nishiemon! Drive in the pigs, sheep, cattle and other animals seized from the Chinese and sweep Lijiazhai."
"Hello!"
Ninagawa Nishiemon bowed and accepted the order.
Doihara Kenji's method was quite effective. After one round, the mechanism that Xiang Chu and others had worked so hard to set up was triggered, and a lot of pigs, sheep, cows and other animals died on the ground.
Qingtian River, hidden cave.
Ma Fugui received the message and reported: "Chief! Ai Hai called and said that Yuan Xian'er, the local team, had led two battalions to capture Lijiazhai and use it as a command post."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Old Liu! I'm right, right?"
Liu Zhengxiong handed him a chicken leg and said exaggeratedly:
"Who are you? You have everything under control of Kenji Doihara."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Listen carefully to the Japanese radio conversations and escape from the encirclement of the Japanese troops as soon as possible."
"understood!"
Liu Zhengxiong shouted and quickly put on his headphones.
Xiang Chu continued to order: "Fugui! Call Ai Hai and tell him about the tunnel we reserved in Lijiazhai. Through that tunnel, we can attack Doihara Ke'er at night."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu called Qian Fu over and ordered, "Qian Fu! Go to Luoyang and meet your brother Qian Gui at Luoshui Hotel. After taking away the evidence of Dongxiang Pinglufu's identity, immediately return to Shanghai."
Qian Fu said happily: "We two brothers must have a big meal in Luoyang."
Xu Lai heard it, took out a stack of banknotes, stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile:
"Afu! You must have a water feast when you go to Luoyang, otherwise it will be a wasted trip."
"Thank you ma'am!"
Qian Fu laughed, turned around and ran out of the cave, almost knocking over Xiaoliu who was running into the cave.
Xiaoliu shouted, "How reckless! When will you grow up?"
Qian Fu retorted, "You are different? You run so fast."
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Xiao Liu! What's the hurry?"
Xiao Liu handed an envelope to Xiang Chu and said with a wry smile:
"Boss! The head of the security department of the Jinnan Brigade came specially to deliver it. He left after dropping off the letter."
Xiang Chu took the letter and asked in confusion: "What did the security chief say?"
Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "He only showed me his ID and didn't say anything else."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I understand! An expert specifically told him to do this."
Xu Lai said angrily, "You are just being mysterious! The master is your master."
"See through it, but don't speak it out!"
Xiang Chu said angrily and was about to tear open the letter.
"slow!"
Xu Lai said anxiously, stopping it.
Liu Zhengxiong also hurriedly said:
"Chief! Be careful of fraud."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! This letter must be opened outside."
Having said this, he took the envelope out of the cave and tore it open in the leeward direction.
He carefully pulled out the letter and shook it in the wind, but no poisonous smoke came out.
Liu Zhengxiong laughed awkwardly: "Ah! Nothing happened. I was worrying too much!"
Xu Lai smiled and said, "It's better to be careful!"
"Just be suspicious!"
Xiang Chu said unhappily, unfolded the letter and read it, frowning.
Liu Zhengxiong came closer and asked with a smile: "Tell me quickly! What did the letter say?"
Xiang Chu put away the letter and shook his head, saying, "The Central Intelligence Agency agent who infiltrated the Jinnan Brigade is called Yun Jie. He may have sensed danger and escaped before he was arrested."
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed: "This kind of person knows too many secrets of our party and army. How can we let him escape?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! My master is worried that he will defect to the devils, so he told me to keep an eye on him and eliminate him when I see him. Tell everyone to pack up, and we will leave this cave immediately."
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Didn't you say that this cave is great and we should stay here for a few more days?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Yun Jie also lived in this cave when he was carrying out a mission behind enemy lines."
"A spy has also lived here? Then get out of here!"
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed, turned around and ran into the cave.
