Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 90: Xu Yang's return plan failed, he continued to be an undercover agent and turned against the Japanese traitor Rikawa Okazaka

Headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

The chief of staff came hurriedly with a telegram and said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, good news, good news!"

The brigade commander asked hurriedly, "What good news? Could it be that Li Yunlong has already taken over the Niangzi Pass stronghold? That can't be possible. What time is it now?"

Chief of Staff: "No, it was you who asked us to investigate the detailed intelligence of the commander of the 22nd Battalion of the nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army, Hikawa Okazaka. There is good progress."

"We just received reliable intelligence that Hikawa Okazaka's wife was captured by the Japanese military headquarters and brought to China as a comfort woman. She is currently in the Japanese military's comfort station in central China."

"His two children also starved to death at home. Photos of his hometown are still on the way and will take some time to be delivered."

Although the brigade commander is no longer engaged in intelligence work, his eye for intelligence is still very sharp.

If we count from the beginning of 31, this war has lasted for 9 years. Especially in the three years since the outbreak of the full-scale war in 37, Japan's disadvantage of insufficient war potential as a small country has been thoroughly exposed.

It may not feel like much in some big cities, but in small cities, especially in some remote rural areas, starvation and people living in poverty have become the norm.

This war has tormented not only the Chinese people.

The Japanese people are also in constant torment!
The Japanese top leaders promoted militarism and the spirit of Bushido in an effort to brainwash the people of the country.

Men were encouraged to go to the battlefield to serve the Sky Locusts and the Empire, and women were encouraged to serve as comfort women before going online to reward and comfort the warriors of the Empire, and then they openly and shamelessly said that this was also a way to repay their Sky Locusts and the Empire.

Because this can solve the homesickness of the soldiers on the front line and improve their combat effectiveness, it can be said to be a roundabout way to kill the enemy.

From the news media to local government schools, Japan is promoting this anti-human behavior.

This continuous, all-round brainwashing method from childhood to adulthood is shameless but very effective.

Many young Japanese soldiers were unable to distinguish right from wrong, and they volunteered to fight on the front lines and serve as comfort women. Instead of feeling ashamed, they were proud of it.

But there are also a large number of young devils who have not been successfully brainwashed and still maintain their independent thinking ability and are unwilling to do these cruel things.

The Japanese government obviously had a way to deal with such people, which was to use force, capture them directly, and send the men to the front lines as soldiers, without worrying that they would disobey.

The women were sent to comfort stations on the front lines, where the Japanese soldiers could vent their lust and have fun.

Of course, there were also deceptions, such as using a daughter's longing for her parents or a mother's longing for her son as an inducement. As long as they were deceived into reaching China, they would be at the mercy of the Japanese military.

At that time, almost all Japanese citizens were soldiers, and even military dependents were destined to be no exception.

At first, the Japanese government only took action against the families of ordinary soldiers. Gradually, as resources were exhausted, it gradually targeted grassroots officers with no background.

Normally, the Japanese government would send comfort women to war zones where their families were not from, to avoid them encountering each other and causing unnecessary trouble, which would affect military morale.

However, as more and more comfort women were involved, mistakes were inevitable, such as changes in military battle zones.

There have been many such examples in the history of another time and space.

For example, the Japanese brother met his sister, the Japanese father met his daughter, the Japanese husband met his wife, and so on.

When the two met at the comfort station, the despair they felt was imaginable...

The information just received was undoubtedly a disaster for Hinakawa Okasaka, but it was definitely good news for the brigade commander.

Even if this good news is built on the pain of Hinakawa Okazaka.

The brigade commander smiled: "Sure enough, my bet was right. Japan has begun to rot from the root. The final victory of this war is destined to belong to us!"

After a pause, the brigade commander changed the subject and continued, "In this case, we can adjust our plan accordingly.

Immediately send this message to the Lone Wolf Staff Officer in the form of a telegram, and ask him to find a way to persuade Hikawa Okazaka to rebel."

The chief of staff frowned and said, "Brigade Commander, will this put the lone wolf staff in danger? After all, the Japanese are notoriously stubborn."

The brigade commander said confidently: "If it were anyone else, they might put themselves in danger, but the Lone Wolf Staff Officer would never do that.

There is no doubt about his ability, and he is also the brother-in-law of Hinakawa Okazaka.

The most important point is that such a change in the family is enough to completely destroy anyone's faith.

Even the Japanese, who have been brainwashed by militarism and Bushido spirit, are no exception.

Moreover, inciting the rebellion of Hikawa Okazaka is just the beginning. We will need to incite more enemies to rebel, make them lose their faith, and collapse from within!"

……

My wife is here.

After about ten minutes of hand-to-hand combat, the more than 200 Japanese soldiers who were resisting stubbornly were all wiped out.

The soldiers of the independent regiment had improved food standards and became much stronger physically. In addition, with continuous training, their bayonet fighting skills also improved significantly.

Therefore, casualties that were several times greater than the enemy's in hand-to-hand combat as in the past would no longer occur.

Because the soldiers cooperated well, their strength was almost 10 to 1, which meant that, on average, every Japanese soldier would be attacked by 10 soldiers from the independent regiment.

Of course, the battle cannot be calculated in this way. After all, the battlefield cannot be divided so evenly.

Some Japanese soldiers might be besieged by more than a dozen soldiers from the independent regiment, while some Japanese soldiers might be besieged by only seven or eight soldiers.

But without exception, the smallest number of Japanese soldiers were besieged by at least five soldiers from the independent regiment.

This meant that not only did the entire battle end quickly, but the independent regiment also suffered very few casualties, with less than 50 casualties in hand-to-hand combat, and most of them were injured.

This almost broke the record of the lowest casualty ratio between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat.

As for the battalion of puppet troops in Niangziguan Railway Station, these guys were completely fence-sitters who changed their stance according to the wind. They realized that the situation was not good, and chose to surrender as soon as the independent regiment broke through the Japanese blockade and rushed into the station. Therefore, they did not participate in hand-to-hand combat, and naturally did not cause any casualties to the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong listened to Zhang Dabiao's brief report on the battle damage and smiled so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

In order to resist the Eighth Route Army's subsequent offensive, the Japanese not only sent additional troops to each stronghold, but also added a large amount of weapons, ammunition, food, medicine, etc.

In addition to the largest stronghold outside the county town, the supplies in the Niangzi Pass stronghold are even more massive, and all of them belong to Li Yunlong.

At this time, the radio operator of the independent regiment suddenly ran over and reported to Li Yunlong: "Commander, is there a call from the brigade commander?"

Li Yunlong's anus shrank: "No way, the brigade commander knew so quickly?"

As he said this, he subconsciously looked at Zhao Gang standing beside him: "Old Zhao, did you, the damned one, report me to the brigade commander again?"

Zhao Gang said without showing any weakness: "Old Li, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by telling tales? After the battle, we should report to the superiors."

Li Yunlong: "Okay! It turns out to be you, the son of a bitch!"

"..." Zhao Gang said speechlessly: "Old Li, please stop slandering me, okay? I was with you the whole time just now, so I didn't have the chance to report even if I wanted to." Li Yunlong asked in confusion: "Who is that?"

The radioman suddenly spoke weakly at this time: "Um... Commander, the brigade commander is not looking for you, but for the Lone Wolf Staff Officer. Because he couldn't contact him, he sent the telegram to us and asked the Lone Wolf Staff Officer to call him back immediately."

"Aren't you here to congratulate me on my fortune?" Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Xu Yang, "Brother Xu Yang, you must keep the spoils we seized at Niangziguan Railway Station secret and say that we are still fighting."

"I understand. I understand."

Xu Yang nodded and ran quickly towards the armored train.

A few minutes later, Xu Yang returned.

Li Yunlong immediately went up to him and said, "Brother Xu Yang, what did the brigade commander say? Did he ask my wife about closing the train station?"

"The brigade commander said..." Xu Yang briefly recounted the family experience of Hikawa Okazaka and how he was asked to persuade Hikawa Okazaka to defect and continue to be an undercover agent. He then said, "It seems that the time for my return will have to be postponed."

Li Yunlong gloated: "These damned little devils foolishly worked for them and brought disaster to the Chinese people. They deserve this fate!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong changed the subject and asked, "What about the matter of my wife closing the train station? Did the brigade commander ask you about it?"

Xu Yang: "The brigade commander asked, and I did as you said and told him that we are still attacking, but the progress is going smoothly. Don't worry, we expect to take it down soon."

"Brother Xu Yang, you are the one who is reliable!" Li Yunlong gave a thumbs up, then turned to Zhang Dabiao and shouted, "First Battalion Commander!"

Zhang Dabiao stepped forward and shouted, "Yes!"

Li Yunlong: "Leave a platoon to lead the local troops and militia to clean up the battlefield. As long as the rest of you can move and breathe, follow me on the train. We are going to Jucheng Township!"

As they were talking, the armored train had already started to move with a grunt, but this time it was the rear locomotive that made the roar.

"Get in the car, get in the car!"

While giving orders, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Xu Yang and others got on the car first.

The soldiers of the independent regiment swarmed in, carrying their weapons and scrambled to get on the train.

The carriages of the armored train were soon packed, and many soldiers were still unable to get on board.

"Captain, commander!"

Because Zhang Dabiao was conveying instructions, he ran to the back and did not squeeze into the car. At this moment, people were shouting in each carriage.

Li Yunlong didn't hear Zhang Dabiao's shout, but he needed to hear it, so he immediately opened the car window and responded: "The roof, there are still many people sitting on the roof!"

Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers on the railway track woke up as if from a dream and began to climb up by climbing through the windows of the armored train.

Thus, a strange scene appeared: a train with the roof of the train full of Eighth Route Army soldiers and the windows full of Eighth Route Army soldiers, clanking and moving towards the west...

Blackwater River Stronghold.

Ding Wei was leading his troops to clean up the battlefield when he suddenly saw a beam of car lights shining from the east. He was immediately surprised and said, "The armored train turned back so quickly. Could it be that Lao Li has already taken over the Niangzi Pass stronghold?"

A battalion commander nearby said, “Commander, although the defense force of the Niangzi Pass stronghold is much stronger than that of the Black Water River stronghold, with the firepower support of the armored train, it should still be very easy to take it out.

Especially when the armored train suddenly opened fire without warning, a burst of bullets could kill most of the enemy's firepower."

Ding Wei nodded.

At that time, they were attacking the Heishui River stronghold and suffered a lot when facing the Japanese artillery towers and bunkers.

But after Xu Yang drove the armored train over, the situation immediately reversed.

The Japanese's artillery towers and bunkers were like paper in front of the train's onboard howitzers. After only two rounds of attacks, the defenses of the Heishui River stronghold were completely destroyed.

If it weren't for the fire support from the armored train, even if their New 1st Regiment could finally capture the Blackwater River stronghold, the price they would have to pay would be astonishingly high.

The armored train slowly stopped after entering the station, and Ding Wei hurried to meet it.

"Old Ding! Here, here!"

Li Yunlong in the command car spotted Ding Wei and immediately opened the window and shouted, "Get in the car, get in quickly!"

Ding Wei got in the car, and before he sat down, Li Yunlong asked, "Old Ding, I'm going to attack the Jucheng stronghold next, do you want to join in?"

Ding Wei said: "This is natural."

Li Yunlong raised a smile: "What about the big decision?"

Ding Wei's face immediately fell: "Old Li, what do you mean by this? Are you addicted to being an official? Your superiors won't give you a promotion, so you promote yourself?"

Li Yunlong was also unhappy: "No, what do you mean, Lao Ding? Apart from anything else, if there is no fire support from the armored train, can you take down the Blackwater River stronghold?
If it weren't for the fact that we were in the same class, would I have dragged you along to get rich together?
I won’t take him even if others ask me to!”

Ding Wei: "The armored train is yours? It obviously belongs to Brother Xu Yang. Even if it is a big decision, it should be Brother Xu Yang who has the final say."

Compared with obeying Li Yunlong's command, Ding Wei prefers to obey Xu Yang's command.

After all, he and Li Yunlong are brothers. He had been defeated by Li Yunlong in the previous battle of Cangyun Town. If he is defeated by Li Yunlong again now, he will never be able to raise his head in front of Li Yunlong again.

All in all, all in all.

You can follow anyone's command except Li Yunlong's.

Li Yunlong: "Most of the soldiers under Brother Xu Yang are from our independent regiment, so of course he listens to us."

Ding Wei: "There are also many soldiers from my New 1st Regiment in the Independent 3rd Battalion. So, the armored train will naturally have a share from my New 1st Regiment."

"..."

"..."

……

The two of them argued back and forth for a long time, their faces turned red and their necks became thick, but neither of them could convince the other.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xu Yang coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "What do you mean, you two? From what you mean, the soldiers under my command eat my food, take my military pay, wear my military uniforms, and carry my guns. At that time, they are still your people?
So what you mean is, I'll use my money to support your army?"

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were both stunned and looked at Xu Yang in unison: "Brother Xu Yang, what do you mean by this?"
