Chapter 221 Scared the Japanese

As soon as it got dark, Bai Zhanming quietly slipped out from the back door of his house, took advantage of the darkness and ran quickly to the Huting stronghold.

He thought he was going to the Japanese without anyone noticing.

But he didn't know, someone was staring at him, seeing that he was going to the Huting stronghold, so he hurriedly reported to Balu.

"Taijun, open the door, it's me!"

Although the sky was dark, the large searchlights at Huting stronghold could still illuminate him.

This was originally used to guard against eight-way night raids.

The Japanese military officer guarding the gate recognized Bai Zhanming, "It's Bai Sang, a good friend of the imperial army, open the gate."

"Thank you, Prince Yanji." After entering the stronghold, Bai Zhanming stuffed the other party with a handful of military tickets.

He was glad that he met an acquaintance again today, who came secretly to report the news, the bigger the commotion, the more troublesome it would be.

There is also the Imperial Association Army in the stronghold, who knows which one of them betrayed the Imperial Army and secretly reported to the Eight Routes.

"I want to see Mr. Xia Mu."

I have been here once yesterday, and this time I am more and more familiar.

The Japanese soldiers took him to the headquarters of the stronghold.

Major Xia Mu, captain of the stronghold defense, did not sleep peacefully.After getting the news yesterday, he was very angry.

Bastard, who gave Tubalu the guts to come to Lao Tzu's sphere of influence to provoke him, and live impatiently?
Occupying most of China, the continuous victories have made the Japanese army develop a bad habit of being supercilious.

The Tuba Road is entrenched in the mountainous area where there is not much oil and water to extract, and Shao Zuo Xia Mu will not take the initiative to sweep it before he gets an order, it is thankless.

But if Tubalu dares to come to his territory to make trouble, he will die.

If you can't teach him a hard lesson, you'll still treat him like Major Natsume.

Xia Mu is determined to send troops, but he also has a hidden worry.

Could this be a trap?
Before, their Huting stronghold suffered similar losses several times. On the way to send troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route, they were either sniped or blown up by the landmines planted.

Little harm, but extremely insulting.

If it's just guerrillas, that's fine.However, the Hundred Regiments War fought by the Eight Route Army a few days ago caused heavy losses to the imperial army.

In particular, many of the imperial army had been wiped out, and they were worried when they heard this.

Shao Zuo Xia Mu also realized that Tuba Road is not the same Tuba Road as before.

If it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army who wanted to ambush them this time, then their Huting garrison might really become a dish for the opponent.

Therefore, he specifically reported the matter to his superior, Lieutenant Nomura.And expressed his hidden worries.

If the Eight Routes of Encirclement and Suppression were ambushed, it would be better for the superiors to come in time for reinforcements.

"Prince Xia Mu, you have to save me!" Bai Zhanming almost knelt down as soon as he rushed in, begging Xia Mu with a mournful face.

Xia Mu is a cruel guy, and he hates this kind of crying woman the most.

He patted the table heavily, and said coldly: "Bai Sang!"

The tears in Bai Zhanming's eyes were forced back.With a bitter face, he reported to the Japanese about Balu's urging for white noodles.

The number of people in the Eight Routes has doubled, and the flour and money lost have doubled.

Xia Mu didn't care about those people, but asked him in a deep voice: "You said, there are horse riders here? I'll give you time to think about it, and you have to tell me the truth. If there is a half-truth, the consequences... "

The threat is self-evident.

Exaggerating the number and threat of the enemy to reduce one's own responsibility is the usual way of the Chinese.

Having been cheated several times, Xia Mu is already familiar with it.He didn't believe what Chairman Bai Wei said.

The Tuba roads on horseback were either infantry or cavalry. What does this mean? It means that the opponent must be the main force of the eight roads.

Shao Zuo Xia Mu must confirm the authenticity of this news.

Bai Zhanming was cheated by the Japanese, his legs were a little weak as if during the day.

He couldn't be more aware of the brutality of the Japanese.Let Balu be tried, at best, he will be shot and killed, and he will die once.

If the Japanese caught it, it would be hard to die.

"Taijun, I swear on my brother's life. If there is even half a lie, I will be beaten to death by the Eighth Route Army." Bai Zhanming swore with three fingers and swore to the Japanese.

Who told him to lie before, it's too late to change now, he can only make mistakes and make mistakes.

Shao Zuo Xia Mu felt that something was wrong with what the other party said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

His level of Chinese painting is limited to being able to communicate, and he can't do it if it is too complicated.

Xia Mu didn't think about it any more, he tapped the table and thought for a while, then called Nomura Zhongzuo in the county seat and reported the matter.

"Nani, twenty cavalrymen, are you right?" The voice from the other end of the phone was full of disbelief.

Xia Mu said: "Mr. Nomura, I have confirmed it. He dare not tell lies. There are indeed twenty cavalrymen, and the fishers are most likely the main force of the Eighth Route Army. My defense team may be targeted by the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

While speaking, he felt a little scared.

If you recklessly go out of the stronghold to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route, you are very likely to fall into the opponent's trap, and the defense team will be finished.

"Xia Mu-jun, I understand. The matter still needs to be investigated. Before that, your defense team should not step out of the stronghold." The other side said on the phone.

I understand, this is what Shao Zuo Xia Mu was waiting for.

As long as they stay in the stronghold and have solid fortifications to rely on, two hundred imperial troops and a hundred imperial alliance troops are enough to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Bai Zhanming saw that Taijun called and chattered a lot, but didn't understand anything.

Seeing Taijun sitting down again, he anxiously asked: "Taijun, what's the matter?"

Bai Zhanming is still useful to maintain that the chairman is the pawn of the Japanese ruling the place.

Xia Mu Shaozuo said to him: "Bai Sang, due to some reasons, the encirclement and suppression of Tuba Road will be canceled tomorrow. If you are worried about retaliation, you can stay in the stronghold. When it is safe, you can go back."

"Ah!" Bai Zhanming became anxious.

If he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. If he doesn't care about it, he will go all the way tomorrow, and his house will have to be demolished!

"Taijun, how can you say that if you don't pay it, you won't pay it? Tubalu is the enemy of the imperial army. They must be wiped out, otherwise the imperial army will not be able to survive even if they sleep."

Bai Zhanming also tried to persuade him, but how can he persuade Shao Zuo Xia Mu.

After all, the Japanese are not stupid, and they don't want to lose the battle, let alone die.

The higher-ups have orders, so why do you have to deal with that bad luck.

It's okay to deal with the guerrillas, but Xia Mu's brain is still not broken when dealing with the main force of the Eighth Route!
He didn't want to listen to the other party anymore, so he waved him away.

Bai Zhanming, who was kicked out, was very frustrated. Damn, the Japanese are also unreliable.

what should I do?

Lao Tzu's ancestral house in Baijia Village was given away by Eighth Road?

How about collecting some white noodles and sending them away... No, it’s not a big deal to make so much white noodles. If the Japanese know about it, not only the family property will be lost, but also the life will be lost.

If you don't want to send a message to Balu, at worst, you can provide some help to Balu in the future, maybe it will be fine if you are careful.

After a while, many thoughts flashed through Bai Zhanming's mind.

As a landlord who kept his family property in troubled times, he had a speculative factor in his bones.

Seeing that the Japanese are powerful, he will maintain the chairman and act as a dog for the Japanese.

Now that Eighth Road is very powerful, he considers that he can also cooperate with Eighth Road.My bad deeds are not too many, so I can make up for it!
