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

Although Nobuo Kameda felt aggrieved, he had no better way to deal with the Eighth Route Army's sticky resistance. In the end, he had no choice but to follow the Eighth Route Army's rhythm and grind down bit by bit.

They just had to be honest and clear out the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions bit by bit, just like pulling out nails, and capture the hilltops along the Zhengtai Highway bit by bit, set up guard positions, and wait until the main force of the army had passed, then gather the guard troops, and then move forward alternately, repeating this process over and over again.

According to this strategy, although the Kameda Regiment did not suffer heavy losses from the Eighth Route Army again and advanced forward smoothly little by little, its speed was really too slow.

Not to mention noon, it would be a blessing if we could reach Yangquan in the evening.

But by that time, Yangquan County would have been breached and the headquarters of the 22nd Infantry Regiment would have been destroyed.

But apart from this, Nobuo Kameda couldn't think of any better way.

The Eighth Route Army had little experience in fighting tough battles and lacked heavy firepower and strategic weapons, but it had extremely rich experience in guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and blocking warfare. Almost all of the grassroots cadres were masters.

……

This side of Yangquan County.

As Yoshio Shinozuka deployed troops and dispatched air force, the Kameda Regiment was constantly blocked.

The armored train had already marched into the county town along the railroad tracks.

Although the Japanese army deployed a large number of barricades in a hurry, the defenses of bunkers and turrets were as fragile as paper in front of the artillery of armored trains, not to mention the barricades made of sandbags.

With just one shot, the barricades, along with their weapons and equipment, as well as the Japanese soldiers behind them would be blown away.

Wherever the armored train goes, it is almost like entering an empty space.

The only thing that could hold it back is probably the railroad tracks.

While attacking the barricades along the way, the armored train also continued to provide fire cover for reinforcements from other directions.

The anti-aircraft shells that kept falling soon destroyed the city gate towers, and a large number of Japanese and puppet soldiers guarding the city walls were killed or injured.

Faced with the fierce attacks from the Eighth Route Army regiments on the front and the continuous bombardment from the armored trains, the hearts of the puppet troops of the County Security Corps sank to the bottom.

In particular, when they learned that the 22st Battalion of the nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army had suffered heavy casualties, the railway crossing had been lost, and countless Eighth Route Army troops were rushing into the city along the railway crossing, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back for these puppet troops.

This gang of traitors and lackeys had completely lost the will to resist, and they abandoned their posts and fled towards the city.

What's more, some of them were so afraid of being liquidated by the Eighth Route Army that they simply opened the city gates and welcomed them into the city, and even said that they had been looking forward to the Eighth Route Army's liberation of the county, and that their previous service as puppet troops was just a roundabout way to save the country and wait for the opportunity. Now that the opportunity had come, they decisively turned against them.

In fact, whether it was Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Cheng Xiazi or Xu Shengji, they all knew that what these puppet soldiers said was all bullshit and they were just talking nonsense just to save their lives.

These guys are just a bunch of fence-sitters. Whichever side the wind is stronger on, they will lean towards the other side.

If it were the Eighth Route Army that was at a disadvantage now, these guys would definitely not mind adding insult to injury and performing well in front of their father, the Emperor, to seek credit.

However, at this time, Ding Wei and his men had no time to liquidate these puppet troops. They all wanted to be the first to take down the Kasahara Regiment Command.

They only left a small number of soldiers to control the situation, and led the main force along the streets and alleys, heading straight for the Kasahara Regiment Headquarters located in the former county government compound.

This is the independent group.

The armored train brought too much oppression to the Japanese.

Kasahara Koizumi knew that only by killing them would he have a chance to defend the county, so he organized no less than 10 waves of suicide squads.

These guys took off their military uniforms and wore only white shirts, with a small red dot cloth band tied around their heads. They held the explosive packs, shouted slogans such as "load on board!", and rushed straight towards the armored train.

They thought that in this way, their damn Amaterasu would be able to protect them.

Unfortunately, however, the so-called damn Amaterasu is nothing but bullshit in the face of bullets and guns.

It's totally useless.

The soldiers of the independent regiment advanced in coordination, and some even lay on top of the train and opened fire.

The Japanese suicide squad couldn't even get through the independent regiment's fire blockade and were beaten to a bloody pulp, becoming a hornet's nest.

With the coordinated cooperation of the independent regiment soldiers, the armored train quickly advanced to the vicinity of Yangquan Railway Station.

The original county government, which is now the Kasahara Regiment Headquarters, is just opposite the train station, separated by only two streets.

Li Sanpao commanded the soldiers of the artillery company to level the 105mm caliber vehicle-mounted cannon. With just one round of salvos, they destroyed the two heavy machine gun nests at the entrance of the Kasahara Regiment's smart gate.

The firepower was then extended, and the command compound of the Kasahara Regiment was soon turned into a sea of ​​fire. All the houses collapsed one after another, and countless Japanese soldiers were buried alive inside.

"Comrades, charge and kill!"

Battalion commander Zhang Dabiao was still at the forefront, rushing into the smoke with a big knife in his hand.

"Charge! Kill! Kill these son-of-a-bitch Japanese bastards!"

The soldiers of the first battalion followed closely behind, holding rifles with bayonets or simply holding machetes and rushed into the billowing smoke.

"Captain Zhang, if you catch Kasahara Koizumi, don't kill him immediately. That would be too easy for him. Remember to leave him to me."

Xu Yang quickly jumped out of the car and shouted at Zhang Dabiao's back, not knowing whether the other party heard him or not.

"Commander, Commander!"

Second Company Commander Ma Tong jumped out of the car immediately afterwards.

"What the hell are you doing following me?" Xu Yang turned around and cursed, "Hurry up and lead the brothers to turn the train around and drive the train into the Guyingling Tunnel 5 kilometers away."

Ma Tong asked doubtfully, "Captain, what's the point of keeping this armored train? Will the devils give us another chance after today?"

Xu Yang: "Of course the Japs won't give us a chance. If nothing unexpected happens, their bombers are already on their way."

Ma Tong: "That's it, why don't we just blow up the train?"

Xu Yang: "What about the weapons and equipment on the vehicle? Not to mention the four 4mm caliber cannons, the four 105mm caliber field guns alone are also indispensable strategic weapons for our army.

Not to mention the dozen or so light and heavy machine guns.

These are all treasures.”

Shi Yibiao, who was standing nearby, said, "Why bother driving the train into the Lone Eagle Ridge Tunnel when it can just be dismantled on site?"

Xu Yang slapped Shi Yibiao on the head: "You pig-brained guy, do you think you can end the battle in three seconds just by visiting a brothel? It will take time to dismantle it? If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese bombers will come before we dismantle the artillery.

By then, not only the artillery on the armored train, but even we might be bombed.”

"Hurry up! If these artillery pieces are destroyed by the Japanese bombers, I'll make you pay for it!"

"Yes, battalion commander!"

Ma Tong and Shi Yibiao quickly turned around and got into the car, directing their subordinates to reverse.

Li Yunlong next to him said, "Lone Wolf Staff Officer, you are really thoughtful. Now these artillery pieces belong to us, Old Li."

Xu Yang: "I don't need it anyway. As for who it belongs to, you can discuss it among yourselves." Li Yunlong: "You are rebelling against them. How dare you snatch it from me!"

Xu Yang smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that the brigade commander will congratulate you on your wealth."

"..." Li Yunlong suddenly became depressed.

Li Yunlong is naturally not afraid of Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Cheng Xiazi.

But the brigade commander was afraid from the bottom of his heart.

……

Kasahara Regiment Headquarters.

Xu Yang knew his own strengths and weaknesses, so he did not lead the charge, but followed behind Li Yunlong. In front, there was also the brave general Wei Dayong and the soldiers of the guard squad, who were closely guarding their safety.

"Xine! Damn Chinese, go to hell!" A Japanese second lieutenant with a dirty face roared and rushed out from behind a broken wall.

He held the knife in both hands and chopped it towards Monk Wei's head.

As a result, Monk Wei did not dodge or evade. Instead, he shook his hands and the red tasseled spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning, accurately piercing the Adam's apple of the Japanese second lieutenant.

The sharp tip of the gun pierced the opponent's neck directly, carrying a stream of blood that gushed out from the back of his neck.

The Japanese second lieutenant's bayonet just fell, but it didn't even touch Monk Wei's hand, let alone his head.

The saying "an inch longer, an inch stronger" was vividly demonstrated at this moment. Of course, this is also closely related to Monk Wei's reaction speed.

Killing the Japanese second lieutenant instead aroused Monk Wei's competitive spirit. He continued to rush into the depths of the ruins where shouts of killing were heard, holding his red tasseled spear.

We encountered several Japanese soldiers in the middle.

The result was that without exception, almost all of them were shot dead by Monk Wei.

These Japanese soldiers either had their hearts pierced or their abdomens punctured.

In a corridor that he was halfway through, Monk Wei, leading the guard squad, ran into a group of devils, most of whom were officers.

“They are all big fish!”

Monk Wei's spirits were immediately lifted and he rushed forward in one step.

The soldiers in the guard squad were afraid that Monk Wei would be in danger, so they rushed forward with guns pointed.

As soon as Monk Wei pointed his gun at a Japanese officer, the soldiers in the guard squad pulled the trigger one after another.

There was a burst of gunfire, and several Japanese officers and gendarmes fell in a pool of blood.

"You guys..." Monk Wei was speechless.

A soldier from the guard squad said: "The commander said that we should fight quickly and end the war quickly."

"..." Monk Wei was speechless, so he had to point the gun at the last Japanese officer with the rank of colonel who was lying on the ground and had been shot several times in the legs, and was about to stab him.

Xu Yang, who followed closely, recognized the other party's identity and immediately shouted, "Monk, spare his life!"

Monk Wei suddenly stopped moving, then turned around and looked at Xu Yang who was walking up to him: "Lone Wolf Advisor, what are you doing?"

Xu Yang ignored Monk Wei and looked at Kasahara Koizumi in front of him. He said in Japanese: "Kasahara Koizumi, do you recognize me?"

Kasahara Koizumi's eyes widened as he stared at Xu Yang: "You...it's you! You damn traitor!"

Xu Yang said with a mocking smile: "What do you mean by a traitor? I am originally Chinese. If I really became a traitor, I would be a traitor."

Kasahara Koizumi said angrily: "The armored train is also because of you..."

Xu Yang: "Yes, I hijacked the armored train as well. Oh, and by the way, the Japanese soldiers from the squadron you sent to the Taohe stronghold had all received their lunch boxes and gone to see their grandmother before dark yesterday."

Kasahara Koizumi: "That day Kawaokazaka?"

Xu Yang: "You are talking about my brother-in-law. He is not a traitor to the Japanese. It was my help that enabled him to be promoted continuously."

After a pause, Xu Yang changed the subject and continued, "Oh, by the way, there is also Feitian Powder. Do you know why only our Feitian Powder can be sold, and who bought it?"

Kasahara Koizumi thought he had finally turned the tables and laughed, "Haha! Those stupid Tubalu bought them. I knew that a long time ago.

I have to say, they are really stupid. They thought they bought cheap fertilizer powder, but they didn't know that they were just making wedding dresses for my great Japanese locust army.

As long as we wait until the autumn harvest season, once the locust army sweeps in, all the food will belong to our great Japanese locust army!
We don’t need to do anything, not only do we earn your money, but we also get the food you grow!”

Xu Yang: "Who told you that we, the Eighth Route Army, bought fertilizer powder to grow crops?"

Kasahara Koizumi: "What else can fertilizer powder do if it doesn't grow crops?"

Xu Yang: "Making high explosives! Do you know why our Eighth Route Army suddenly became rich after coming here? This is all thanks to your stupid gift. You thought you got a bargain and cheated us, but you didn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind."

Kasahara Koizumi shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible! How can fertilizer powder be used to make high explosives?"

Xu Yang: "How about you little devils are stupid? Oh, by the way, recently, I wonder if you have noticed that a large amount of Japanese yen has appeared in the market."

Kasahara Koizumi was shocked. This matter had already attracted great attention from the top brass of the Japanese army, and even the headquarters. He had also heard a little about it: "Could this also be related to you, the Eighth Route Army?"

Xu Yang: "Congratulations on your correct answer. These Japanese yen are produced by our Eighth Route Army. We have mastered the production technology of Japanese yen.

Moreover, the technology produced is more authentic than the Japanese yen you make yourself, and even your most experienced bankers cannot tell the difference. "

Kasahara Koizumi spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed at Xu Yang, and cursed with a face full of resentment: "Damn it! Damn Xu Yang, you...you will not die well!"

Xu Yang was unmoved: "I don't know if I will die a miserable death, but you will die soon.

Also, before you die, I will tell you another secret, that is, large quantities of Japanese yen will continue to flow into the market, and even into your island country.

By then, your island nation’s economy will be completely destroyed.”

"Oh, no, in fact, your island nation's economy has begun to collapse, and you can hardly pay your soldiers, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be thinking of selling fertilizer powder to earn money for military expenses.

The subsequent influx of large amounts of Japanese yen will only accelerate the collapse of your island nation's economy.

What I am talking about is economics, and I don’t know if you can understand it, but it doesn’t matter.

The important thing is that the people in your island country are now so poor that they can hardly afford to eat. It is no exaggeration to say that there are starving people everywhere. They are not much better off than us Chinese people.

Also, in order to meet the physiological needs of you devil soldiers, the government and Tianhuang, to which you are loyal, used various means such as deception and capture to get a large number of women, including girls and women, from your homeland to serve as comfort women.

You may not know this, but according to the news I just received, your wife Muto Yoshiko has been deceived into coming to China as a comfort woman. She is currently in a comfort station of the Japanese army in central China, meeting the physiological needs of the Japanese soldiers there..."
