Seeing the captured tongue being released, Sun Desheng had a look of confusion on his face.

Sun Desheng asked: "Captain, you just let him go. What if that bastard traitor reports our whereabouts to the Japanese?"

"What are you afraid of, Sun Desheng? When did you become so timid?" Li Yunlong stared at Sun Desheng and asked, "Have you been promoted to battalion commander, so you don't dare to fight all the time?"

"Captain, my old grandson has no other abilities. If there is a war, I will definitely be the one at the front!"

Sun Desheng said worriedly: "But the problem is that once our whereabouts are exposed, the Japanese will definitely be on guard. Then Niangzi Pass will not be so easy to fight."

"I have a wonderful plan for freedom." Li Yunlong said, "Just watch."

Later, Li Yunlong asked: "Are there any of our people in the nearby villages?"

Sun Desheng said: "Yes, I remember the guerrilla captain said that there is our fortress in Podi Village."

Li Yunlong: "Do you know which ones they are?"

Sun Desheng: "I know!"

"Okay." Li Yunlong nodded, "Let's go to Podi Village."

…

At Niangziguan, Taro Ikeda thought for a moment, shook the handle vigorously, and then picked up the phone.

First, he reported this information to Yangquan, and then communicated with the Japanese military stronghold near Chengjia Village by phone.

After getting permission and reply from superiors and friendly forces.

Taro Ikeda hung up the phone, called the communications soldier, and ordered: "Immediately order Ikeda Squadron and the Imperial Alliance Army troops to assemble!"

The Eighth Route Army with 2,000 people gathered nearby, but Taro Ikeda had received information again, so he would definitely not pretend not to know.

He knew very well that the Tubal Road with two thousand people would be good if it had a thousand guns, and the ammunition was even more pitiful. The Tubal Road was just for fighting guerrillas.

Of course, Major Ikeda understood that if Niangziguan was occupied by the Eighth Route Army, what awaited him would not be military law enforcement, but he would have to perform a caesarean section to apologize.

So he asked the squadron from the 29th Brigade to defend Niangzi Pass, while he was preparing to lead his men to gain military glory.

Taro Ikeda seemed to have seen the military success of defeating the 2,000 Eighth Route Army right before his eyes.

About ten minutes later, the communications soldier ran into the office: "Major Ikeda, according to your order, the troops have been assembled!"

"Yoshi!"

Taro Ikeda walked out of the office holding the Major's command knife.

Six trucks, more than 200 Japanese troops, more than 800 puppet troops, and a team of more than 1,000 people were lined up neatly.

The Japanese's helmets and bayonets reflected a dazzling cold light under the light.

These Japs have resolute looks and sharp eyes.

And all of these puppet soldiers seemed a little excited.

"Reporting to Taijun, the independent brigade of the Imperial Association Army has been assembled, please give instructions!"

Seeing Taro Ikeda approaching, Liu Yongzhi, the captain of the puppet army, immediately stepped forward and gave a military salute.

Ikeda said happily: "Thank you for your hard work, Liu Sang!"

Liu Yongzhi immediately said: "It's my honor to serve the imperial army without any hard work!"

Being able to lead hundreds of people to help the Japanese garrison Niangzi Pass, Liu Yongzhi naturally has some abilities.

At the top, I can rely on my emotional intelligence to make the Japanese feel comfortable, but at the bottom, I can use bloody methods to control this group of puppet soldiers.

"Yo Xi!" Taro Ikeda waved his hand, "Target Chengjia Village, open the way!"

"Wait a minute!"

Taro Ikeda turned around and saw that Kaede Nakamura was walking towards this side with two soldiers holding a command sword.

Kaede Nakamura is the squadron leader transferred from the 29th Brigade.

The position is the same as squadron leader and the military rank is the same, but he has to obey Taro Ikeda's orders. Of course he doesn't accept it.

"Nakamura-kun, what's the matter with you?" Taro Ikeda asked proudly, raising his head.

"Ikeda-kun, where are you going?" Nakamura Kaede has a somewhat skinny figure, and a pair of eyes that seem to be able to capture the soul. There is coldness and cruelty in his eyes. If ordinary people take one look at it, they will immediately feel frightened and even dare not

Look at it.

However, Taro Ikeda looked at him without any fear: "According to the intelligence, there are Eight Route Army gathering in Chengjia Village. Our troops are ordered to go to encircle and suppress them. Mr. Nakamura will stay at Niangziguan to prevent the Eight Route Army from sneak attack."

Nakamura Kaede said: "Ikeda-kun, why don't you Ikeda Squadron stay behind, and let our Nakamura Squadron lead the Imperial Alliance Army over to clear out this Tubal road, and fight with our squadron, and the credit will be yours, how about that?"

For this contribution, Nakamura Chuanfeng does not want to miss it.

However, how could Taro Ikeda allow Kaede Nakamura to intervene?

It sounds nice now, but when the battle achievements are actually reported, it will not be the case.

"Nakamura-kun, I appreciate your kindness." Taro Ikeda refused coldly: "However, this is the defense area of ​​our 4th Brigade, and you don't need the 29th Brigade to intervene. You only need to do what you should do!

"

After finishing speaking, Taro Ikeda waved his hand: "The target is Chengjia Village, open the way immediately!"

Liu Yongzhi, captain of the puppet army, quickly shouted: "Let's go and run forward!"

The puppet troops were in front and the Japanese were behind. They formed four columns and trotted towards Chengjiacun.

In addition, there are 4 trucks carrying 2 mountain guns, 4 or more mortars, Type 92 heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons.

Looking at the backs of Ikeda Squadron and the puppet army brigade, Nakamura Kaede's face was gloomy, and his expression was slightly distorted because of anger...

Chengjiacun is about 16 miles away from Niangziguan.

About an hour later, Taro Ikeda and his troops finally arrived at Chengjia Village.

Then Taro Ikeda couldn't help but order the puppet army brigade to first surround the village.

Japanese and puppet troops from nearby strongholds also arrived one after another.

Taro Ikeda sent a small group of puppet troops to serve as cannon fodder for a tentative attack.

After a while, Liu Yongzhi ran to Taro Ikeda: "Report to Taro Ikeda, my men told me that no Eighth Route Army was found in Chenjia Village!"

"Nani?" Taro Ikeda said angrily, "This is impossible, someone saw two thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers gathering in Chengjia Village with their own eyes!"

After a pause, Taro Ikeda ordered: "Attack across the board, don't let any of the Eighth Route Army go!"

More than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops, armed with rifles, rushed toward Chengjia Village.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Chengjia Village immediately became agitated. After a search, not even a shadow of the Eighth Route Army was seen.

The unwilling Taro Ikeda roared: "There must be a tunnel in the village. The Eighth Route Army must have run along the tunnel. Find the tunnel for me!"

The Japanese and puppet troops took action quickly again, violently breaking into the villagers' homes and searching them door to door.

I was busy working in the middle of the night but couldn't find the tunnel entrance.

"Baga!" Taro Ikeda couldn't help but yell angrily.

"Arrest all the villagers and ask them to tell the whereabouts of Balu. If they don't tell them, they will all die!"

Liu Yongzhi quickly advised: "You can't do it. Taijun Ikeda can't do it. Even if all the villagers are killed, the Eighth Route Army will have disappeared long ago. Since we know that Chengjia Village has colluded with the Eighth Route Army, I think it's better to plant an insider in this village and the Eighth Route Army

Come again and we will receive the information immediately."

"Yo Xi!" Taro Ikeda thought for a moment, "Liu Sang, your suggestion makes sense, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Taro Ikeda was not very concerned about the life and death of these villagers. In his eyes, killing Chinese people was no different from killing animals.

Liu Yongzhi immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ikeda, I will definitely find the traces of the Eighth Route Army!"

"withdraw troops!"

After Taro Ikeda gave the order, the Japanese and puppet soldiers put away their guns one after another.

Then they gathered together and ran back in a neat queue towards Niangziguan.

After more than an hour, the Japanese and puppet troops returned to Niangziguan.

Looking at Taro Ikeda returning empty-handed, Nakamura Kaede naturally had some sarcastic remarks.

Ikeda Taro was so angry that he immediately ordered the soldiers to arrest Cheng Qiang and Cheng Sanpao who had tipped off the news.

However, Cheng Qiang insisted that he indeed saw thousands of people walking on the Eighth Route Army.

He didn't dare to honestly admit that he deceived the other party because he wanted to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army.

In that case, the end would undoubtedly be extremely miserable. In the past, the Eighth Route Army was captured by Taro Ikeda and tied to a pillar. The moody Taro Ikeda ordered mountain cannons to be fired at the Eighth Route Army.

Later, Taro Ikeda ordered the bodies of Cheng Qiang's men to be dragged in, and both traitors had their throats cut with a knife.

Taro Ikeda judged that Cheng Qiang had not lied, but he did not reward Cheng Qiang and Cheng Sanpao, and even ordered the two men to be imprisoned.

After all this fuss, it was almost dawn.

Taro Ikeda ordered the Japanese and puppet soldiers to return to their barracks to rest, and he himself was also preparing to rest.

Wang Xiaoqiang, a villager in Podi Village, ran into Niangziguan. This man had a close relationship with Liu Yongzhi and was Liu Yongzhi's spy in Podi Village.
