When Duan Peng was taken to the county garrison headquarters by the Japanese army.
The commander of the garrison, Lieutenant Colonel Adonana, was having a meal with a group of civilians wearing ordinary Eighth Route Army uniforms.
About a dozen people were toasting each other.
They always had smiles on their faces and chattered in their mouths. The people sitting next to Lieutenant Colonel Adeno raised their wine glasses and toasted to him from time to time.
But what these people spoke was not Chinese, but a series of very proficient Japanese.
"Shimada-kun, this military operation is thanks to your efforts!" Lieutenant Colonel Adeno raised his glass and laughed.
These guys were the agents who were carrying out sabotage in these places under the orders of Okamura Neiji, and they were one of these Japanese agents.
The main task is to pretend to be the Eighth Route Army to rob and massacre villagers near Anhe County, and to discredit the Eighth Route Army.
Since these guys can hold a banquet to celebrate, this operation must be very smooth.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, all this depends on your command!" the Japanese agent known as Shimada said modestly.
Having been in the military for many years, Shinji Shimada is well aware of the twists and turns in the military.
Anhe County is not our own territory. If we come to do things on other people's territory, we naturally cannot take all the credit.
Even if he has General Okamura Neiji as his backing, these things must be done in place.
really.
When he heard this, Lieutenant Colonel Adeno's face was immediately filled with a smile, and he said politely: "The main thing is that General, Commander Ishikawa has trained well!
We just tried our best, and the main credit goes to you."
The guy named Shimada in front of him, although his military rank is not as good as his own, he is a well-trained agent of the Special High School.
Although the army is supervised by the gendarmerie, they all know in their hearts that these people in the special high-level courses, especially the guys in the action group, should not offend them if they can.
Even if they can't make friends, they must not make enemies. Otherwise, if they just fan the flames at the First Army Headquarters, it will be enough for them to drink.
"Zhongsao Yano is serious!" Shimada said with a smile: "After this operation, I think the Eighth Route Army's status in the hearts of the people will definitely be shaken."
"Having said that, the Eighth Route Army has a good reputation." Xi Nai shook his head helplessly: "I'm still a little worried, it's all in vain."
"Don't worry, this is all under the plan of Your Majesty the General. These Chinese people are a bunch of fools. As long as we fire, they will naturally believe it." Shimada said confidently.
The reason why the Japs were so confident was because when they disguised themselves as the Eighth Route Army, the people believed in their identities very much, and some even took the initiative to go out to greet them.
This result can be imagined. Villagers who did not know the truth personally put these executioners into the village.
When the bayonets were stabbed at them, these people were filled with surprise and could not believe that these people in front of them were the Eighth Route Army.
For this reason, he deliberately released some people just to spread the word and make everyone hate the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking of the desperate expressions of these people before they died, a cruel smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It is estimated that these stupid Chinese people would not have thought before they died that the people who killed them would not be the Eighth Route Army at all, but the actual imperial army.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice pulled him back from his memories.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel!" A soldier suddenly walked in from the door.
"Baga, didn't I tell you not to disturb us if you have nothing to do? We are holding a celebration banquet!" Lieutenant Commander Adeno shouted.
"Hai!" the Japanese soldier paused and said: "He is a Chinese citizen. He said he has information to report to you, so he comes to disturb you because of his humble position!"
"China's common people, or important information?" Lieutenant Colonel Yanai frowned slightly.
Now he was drinking to his heart's content, and he didn't want to pay attention to it at the moment. He secretly thought that he might be the Chinese people who came to defraud people of food and drink.
Now that there is no battle to start, what important information could be obtained by a Chinese commoner instead of being obtained by the imperial army?
"Assign him to the Dao Emperor's Association Army and give him any position!" Lieutenant Colonel Apuno waved his hand casually.
"Hai!" The soldier at the door received the order and was about to leave.
But Shimada thought for a while and suddenly said: "Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, let's first listen to see if the Chinese people have any important information."
Seeing that Shimada was interested, Akino didn't want to dismiss him and said: "Since you are interested, just call him in!"
As he said that, Yan Nai waved his hand vigorously, drank the wine in one gulp, and then put down the glass.
Duan Peng, who had been waiting at the door, saw no movement and looked at the surrounding environment intentionally or unintentionally.
I was thinking about how I would escape if things were revealed.
The wall on the left is good. Climb up the wall and quickly jump to other roofs. You will definitely be able to successfully escape the enemy's pursuit.
Just when he was thinking wildly, a Japanese soldier walked towards him and said in jerky Chinese: "You, come with me!"
When he walked to the place, he saw about ten Japanese soldiers sitting in the room.
The Japs in charge were wearing military uniforms, so they must be officers here, while the rest were all dressed in ordinary civilian uniforms.
How could these Chinese people suddenly appear in such a good Japanese den?
Looking at these guys, they seem to be very close to this Japanese officer, and their temperament does not look like that of ordinary people, but rather has the aura of a soldier.
Could it be that they are...
Duan Peng suddenly thought of this possibility and lowered his head to hide his shock. Captain Ding was actually right.
He was not a reckless man. He did not choose to act rashly and go deep into the enemy camp. If he acted rashly, he would definitely be shot and turned into a corpse.
"What's your name, and who works for you?" Ai Nai asked in unintelligible Chinese.
While speaking, he looked Duan Peng up and down.
This guy looks unattractive, what important information can he have?
"Reporting to Taijun, the younger one is from Duanjiagou." Duan Peng suppressed the anger in his heart: "The surname is Duan, and the single name is Peng."
Duanjiagou.
Hearing this name, Shimada raised his eyebrows. He was very familiar with this name. He was the one responsible for the massacre of Duanjiagou.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, you can believe that I have been to this place!" Shimada said softly.
"吆西." Ai Nai nodded with satisfaction. With Shimada's testimony, the doubts in his heart were somewhat eliminated.
"Do you have any important information?" Apuna asked again.
"Reporting to the Imperial Army, I discovered that there is a group of Eighth Route Army troops in the mountains!" Duan Peng said, "I heard from them that they are still members of the 28th Regiment."
"Nani, what did you say, 28th Regiment!"
Hearing this, Ai Nai became very excited.
The 28th Regiment can be said to be a serious problem for the entire First Army, and everyone in the army can kill them.
"Yes, they are from the 28th Regiment of the Imperial Army!" Duan Peng said: "It is said that he seems to be some kind of official. What is his name...oh yes, his name is Ding Wei!
I heard them all calling him Captain Ding. I am a countryman and don’t know anything. This is a high-ranking official. How many oceans can I get in exchange for this?"
Duan Peng put on a greedy look, rubbed his hands and asked.
Ding Wei.
28th Regiment Leader!
Hearing this name, not only Adeno, but also Shimada was also excited.
This guy is the commander of the 28th Regiment. If you kill him or capture them alive, it will definitely be a great achievement!
"Xinxi, Duan Pengjun, you have done a great job. If the information is true, the imperial army will definitely reward you greatly!" Xi Nai said excitedly.
Shimada was much calmer and asked: "You said they were the 28th Regiment. How did you hear these words?"
When Shimada asked this, Akino also felt that something was wrong, and asked: "Yes, you are just an ordinary citizen, how could you know this!"
Duan Peng was well prepared for these questions and replied: "I was walking in the mountains when I suddenly heard some noise, so I ran over to eavesdrop and overheard this."
Then, he dropped another piece of news: "It seems they are talking about some kind of cooperation. The guy who is cooperating is named Chu. What is Chu..."
Duan Peng deliberately pretended to be thinking, but in fact he wanted them to say Chu Yunfei's name.
"You mean Chu Yunfei?" Xu Nai asked.
Duan Peng thought for a while and said: "It seems like this name, they were talking about something 358. Later, I was worried that they would find me, so I didn't dare to stay longer.
The more I thought about it afterwards, the more something was wrong, so I hurried over to report the news to you!"
When Ainai heard Chu Yunfei's name, she was shocked again.
Chu Yunfei also had a name in the First Army.
Unexpectedly, I got the news about Ding Wei and the whereabouts of Chu Yunfei.
I heard that Cong, Ding Wei, and Chu Yunfei went to Heyuan County not long ago, and together they killed Ichiro Hirata.
Since then, I haven't heard anything from them again.
Could it be that the two of them got together and were plotting something?
If you can figure this out, you will definitely be promoted and make a fortune, and you will be rewarded by your Excellency the General.
You can even reach the rank of Colonel, adding one more star to your military rank.
This matter was of great importance, and Yan Nai did not dare to neglect it for a moment, and asked: "Duan Pengjun, the imperial army is fighting in your hometown, don't you have any complaints in your heart?
Why did you report this to us? Don’t you common people all like the Eighth Route Army?”
"The imperial army is here to help us fight and improve our lives!" Duan Peng deliberately looked like a traitor.
"I have long wanted to join the Imperial Army and work with the Imperial Army. Who doesn't know now that only working with the Imperial Army is the truly wise choice!"
After a pause, Duan Peng continued: "Those Tuba Road are so stupid that they actually set fire to my home.
To be honest, I am from Duanjiagou. How could I endure seeing the Eighth Route Army burning down my home!
Those bastards from the 28th Regiment did all kinds of bad things. They not only massacred the village, but also set fire to it!
I must avenge this, so I abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, surrendered to the imperial army, and will serve the imperial army from now on!"
"Didn't you just say that you met the people of the 28th Regiment, why didn't you go up and take revenge?" Shimada suddenly said.
Compared with Ai Nai's Chinese, this guy's Chinese is very fluent, and he even has a bit of a Shanxi accent when he speaks, without any Japanese accent at all.
Duan Peng was shocked and became more convinced of his inner thoughts.
There's something wrong with these guys.
They are most likely the initiators of these things!
"The small force is weak and does not dare to act rashly. I think that the imperial army is superior. With the imperial army here, it will definitely wipe out these damn guys and make the imperial army's rule more stable!" Duan Peng replied.
Shimada kept staring at Duan Peng for a long time to make sure there was nothing wrong with him.
What happened in Duanjiagou is indeed a fact and is not a fabrication.
It is true that they pretended to be the Eighth Route Army, massacred the village, and left a trace behind.
Shimada subconsciously figured out that Duan Peng was angry when he saw his hometown being destroyed, and then turned to the imperial army.
After hearing what happened in Duanjiagou and seeing Duan Peng's angry expression, he had no doubts at all.
Shimada only believed that the imperial army's strategy to sow discord worked.
"Commander Adeno, you can trust what this guy says." Shimada whispered.
Yan Nai nodded in agreement and said: "Duan Pengjun, you have done a good job, if this matter is true.
The imperial army was able to capture Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei alive, and the imperial army will definitely give you a great credit afterwards!"
"Hai, hai! Duan Peng nodded repeatedly: "I dare not deceive Taijun, these words are true!"
Duan Peng thought to himself, of course these words are the truth. How can I deceive you if I don't tell the truth?
"How many troops do they have?" Ai Nai asked impatiently.
"Taijun, when I found them, there were only a dozen of them. I guess they were worried that if they made too much noise, they would be discovered by the imperial army," Duan Peng said.
Hearing that there were only a dozen or so people, Ai Nai's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Then where are they now?"
The troops of more than ten people must be to prevent the imperial army from being alert. This is simply a piece of fat.
"It seems..." Duan Peng deliberately pretended to be recalling: "In the woods not far from Anhe County!"
"Nani, are you near us?"
Hearing this, Lieutenant Commander Adeno suddenly became furious.
These guys are so arrogant that they dare to plot things under the eyes of the imperial army.
Is it possible that they dare to attack Anhe County?
Thinking about what happened to Ichiro Hirata, this thing is indeed possible.
"Bagaya Road, these damn guys are so arrogant!" Ainai slammed the table and said angrily.
"Send troops immediately to encircle and suppress these damn guys!"
With that said, he looked at Duan Peng again and continued: "Duan Pengjun, this matter depends on you. It's up to you to lead the imperial army forward!"
"No problem, Taijun, this matter will be taken care of by me." Seeing that the Japanese agreed, Duan Peng agreed.
"Commander Adeno, it's not appropriate to send too many troops to this matter!" Shimada suddenly said.
How could Shimada give up such great achievements to others so easily? If the operation was successful, he would be able to capture two senior commanders of the China Army alive at once!
Especially for an influential figure like Ding Wei, Shimada naturally wanted to find some reason to take the credit.
"Why?" Xi Nai was a little dissatisfied, and he knew very well what this meant.
"Your Excellency Lieutenant Commander, it is not appropriate to alert the enemy at this time." Shimada directly gave an excuse that Ono could not refuse.
"If the enemy discovers that the Imperial Army has increased its troops in large numbers, they will definitely suspect that their whereabouts have been exposed, and maybe they will give up the contact!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Aonai said with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, please rest assured that you will definitely get a share of the credit this time." Shimada said slowly.
Hearing this, Ai Nai's expression softened a little: "In this case, you will be solely responsible for this matter!"
